Comfort

What do you think about when you think comfort? Favorite meal? Old blanket? A call to a friend? A show you've always watched? A song? An old photograph. Being with your family? I guess it's different for everyone. Ask around and see what you hear, and write your own list.

Parle Francais?

I'm learning to speak French. 

Why?  Well, I can list all kinds of reasons...but mainly I want to go to Paris. Obviously I didn't take this picture, and no-it's not at Paris, Las Vegas.  


So, I am going to class, listening to podcasts, watching French movies, and acting like I understand when I hear people around me speaking French or anything that remotely sounds like French.  
New adventures and new seasons.  That's what it's all about right now.


I am looking through pictures and setting my itineary.  See you soon Paris!!

It's ok, pay for it.

It's true- you get what you pay for.
I just heard my friend talking about a pair of shoes she bought in Europe, she said something like "the shoes were cheap quality, they didn't last". My other friend reminded her that she only paid $20 for them. So, although they were European shoes and I'm sure they gained a bit of frequent flyer miles coming all the way to Las Vegas- that didn't necessarily make them top of the line shoes.
Same thing goes w purses- and I am a purse girl- I haven't yet bought my first Gucci or Louis Vuitton, but I have learned from experience- pay $15 for a purse, watch out! Soon you will have straps falling off, zippers breaking, rips and stuff making it look like its been dragged around by a pack of wild horses.
Seriously. Spend a little bit more. Get quality.
Tonight I am trying a new yogurt- Oikos. Yes, I know it's .38cents more than Yoplait, but trust me- it was divine. I totally agree with John Stamos, it is the very best in the world.
I am worth it- and so are you!

To blog or not to blog

It's a new year and of course I've been thinking about thing from last year that I've neglected. One of them is this blog. It's not like I don't have any time- that's always the easiest and best excuse. It's that I have this 'great expectation' that it has to be perfect and filled with spiritual revelation and scripture... But really, it doesn't. Its supposed to be what is on my heart and mind for the day.
So the ultimate question is- to blog or not to blog...
I have decided to blog. Starting today. Imperfect, about whatever and whenever.
It's a step forward and I'm excited.
Ciao,
Norma
